The sites listed on this page are provided for the convenience of Le Moyne College students, faculty, and others who are interested in pursuing information about religion on the Internet. Annotations provide some preliminary guidance about the content and academic utility of particular sites; but because of the constantly shifting character of information on the Internet, I cannot guarantee the continuing accuracy of annotated remarks or of links to specific sites. Some sites contain sensitive or controversial information or links to other sites that are sensitive and controversial. Inclusion of a site in the following list does not imply any endorsement by me or by Le Moyne College of the information or views to be found at or through such a site. --WRB
